"which would you rather be, a ten year old forced out of his home to befriend a wild animal and hang out with people WAY older than you, or help people and save lives." save lives....bahahahahahahahaahahahahhaah

@Omnipotent Help people and save lives? That is not what the goverment does, the goverment does exactly the opposite.
Although this only happens in certain countries, like the US, Argentina and some other guys.

@omnipotent 1: you can save lives with pokemon 2:yeah id rather be a ten year old forced out of his home to befriend a wild animal and hang out with people WAY older than you seeing as if your in kanto you can have a fire breathing dragon

which would you rather be, a ten year old forced out of his home to befriend a wild animal and hang out with people WAY older than you, or help people and save lives? A TEN YEAR OLD FORCED OUT OF HIS HOME TO BEFREIND A CUTE ANIMAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Omnipotent that's one trainer that youre talking about. If pokemon really did exist, you could start training pokemon whenever you want and do whatever you want. Plus, at least half of the population will always hate you when youre the president

It's not about a shitty childhood, it's about wether realising a selfish dream from your childhood, or take the place of the corrupted and help the suffering ones : O (or be a total dictator dickhead I guess, depends on your motivation.)

If I was a Pokemon Trainer, I could train and become a champion and then challenge the President to a POKEBATTLE then pwn his ass and become the best pokemon trainer in the whole world. And the president too.

This is too obvious, a president is in constant stress and risk of life with the hatred of half the population they must control and may only last max 8 years.
As a pokémon trainer, you can get a load of awesome "non existent" pets.
So basically it's either be rich or be able to do something nobody else can.

This is basically saying " do you want to be stuck in a 4 year contract saying you cant do anything bad and be responsibale for everything that happens in the U.S and deal with people bojangoling your life and getting up in your life? Or have pokemon." Honestly. Who would'nt chose number 2.
